What was that move called again?

Fu Qian looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle and took a deep breath.

The skill he’d never had a chance to use.

[Visceral Attack]

[Seize the opportunity, bypass the wound, and directly strike the opponent’s internal organs to deal devastating damage.]

Without hesitation, he thrust his hand into the wound beneath its ribs.

A warm sensation enveloped his hand as his five fingers rapidly twisted and elongated like bloodthirsty snakes.

Countless tiny, tentacle-like threads sprouted frantically, digging deep into the flesh and fusing tightly with it.

Just! Die!

He suddenly clenched his right hand, activating Visceral Attack.Amidst a spray of blood, Fu Qian felt as if his very flesh and soul had been hollowed out by the strike.

[SAN Value -1]

...

A faint whimpering filled his mind, tearing at his consciousness.

A frantic string of SAN Value reduction warnings appeared, dropping a full 7 points before finally stopping.

The whimpering faded away with them.

Phew!

That should really be it this time, Fu Qian thought, exhaling.

He raised his head. Under the team leader and Su Gao’s inexplicably horrified gazes, Fu Qian raised an eyebrow and stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking every bit the transcendent master.

[Containment Conditions met, ID 2-133 containment successful]

As the successful containment prompt appeared, the scenery before him rapidly dissolved, and Fu Qian returned to the Warehouse.

[Task Completed]

[Evaluation: Slay Any God in the Way]

[Congratulations. Not only did you successfully prevent the descent of the evil god progeny, you even personally dealt it irreversible damage. This is an unbelievable feat.

With a Mortal Body, you taught a Deity a lesson. The title of a crazed yet calculating villain truly belongs to you.

This incident caused massive casualties and even the deaths of Night Watchers members. It has drawn high attention within the Night Watchers, and related files have been strictly sealed.]

[Enemies Killed: evil god progeny, Maggot-Man*22]

[Rewards: SAN Value +31; inspiration +5]

[Special Kill Reward: Thug]

[Replay event recap?]

Finally done!

Inside the Warehouse, the previous anomalies had disappeared.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Fu Qian’s first reaction was to reach down and touch his stomach.

That strike from Visceral Attack had left quite an impression.

After confirming all his normal parts were still there, Fu Qian finally began checking his rewards.

[Slay Any God in the Way]

This evaluation was quite impressive, likely stemming from his feat of slaying a god.

As for the kills, it clearly counted the Maggot-Men.

Judging by the increase in SAN Value, farming the kill count inside had been useful after all.

He had suffered a heavy loss of SAN Value this time, so the extra replenishment was nice. Combined with this reward, his SAN Value now sat at 43 points.

His inspiration had actually increased by another 5 points. He wondered what he would see next time.

However, apart from all that, the main reward was only a single item. Wasn’t that a bit unreasonable?

Frowning, Fu Qian flipped to his special kill reward.

[Thug: transcendent form, consumable. Using it will upgrade you into this form. The process is irreversible. ->]

[A strong body and swift speed will let you completely break free from human limits and alter the essence of your life (flesh is weak, flesh ascends).]

This...

Fu Qian froze for a rare moment.

Transcendent form?

It was hard not to associate that term with a transcendent.

Recalling his four Night Watchers teammates, Fu Qian was deeply impressed by the terrifying blade light of White Porcelain Girl Su Gao.

That speed and lethality could not be described by simply calling her a sword master; it was power belonging exclusively to a transcendent.

If he understood correctly, this thing could make him just like them?

He wouldn’t have to do anything—just use it and instantly become superhuman?

To think such a good thing existed!

Still, he needed to be a little cautious. The process was irreversible, after all.

Rubbing his chin, Fu Qian hesitated for about two seconds.

[Warning, the item will disappear after use. Confirm use?]

”Confirm!”

There was no way he would give up an opportunity like this.

Besides, after working so hard for so long, wouldn’t this trip have been for nothing if he didn’t use it?

Following his confirmation, a surge of warmth flowed into his body.

The next moment, his blood seemed to boil.

His heart pounded wildly like an overclocked motor, while every muscle in his body rapidly contracted and expanded.

When Fu Qian opened his eyes a long while later, his heartbeat had returned to normal, and his body brimmed with unprecedented strength.

He tried clenching his fist, feeling the muscles in his arm twist together like steel wires.

He was no longer an ordinary person. The feeling radiating from deep within made that abundantly clear.

What a fantastic item. Truly worthy of a reward for slaying a god.

His chances of success in future missions had just increased significantly.

[Today’s work is complete. Thank you for your hard work.]

[You may now leave the Warehouse. See you tomorrow.]

As the reminder sounded, Fu Qian took off his Work Badge.

He was truly exhausted!

Today’s work had been far more difficult than he had imagined, draining a considerable amount of mental energy.

The scenery shifted before his eyes, and he returned to his familiar home.

Shaking his head, Fu Qian quickly realized he hadn’t eaten yet today.

Just as he was hesitating over whether to simply cook some noodles or order takeout to treat himself, he suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.

He looked down. His previously well-fitting clothes were now stretched tight across his body, the buttons visibly struggling under the strain.

...

Realizing what was happening, Fu Qian ran straight to the bathroom.

The reflection in the mirror was both familiar and foreign.

His originally somewhat scrawny body had bulked up considerably, as if inflated.

Smooth lines, a flawless physique, every muscle sharply defined.

Explosive power filled his every movement.

The rewards from the scenarios could actually be brought out into the real world!

Just what kind of job had he taken on?!

Fu Qian washed his face to calm down.

Although his title was Thug, thankfully he hadn’t sprouted a full beard, and his skin even looked smoother and more refined.

Were thugs in suits the current trend now?

Coming out of the bathroom, Fu Qian thought of something and pointed his finger at a bottle of mineral water on the table.

Bang!

Water splashed everywhere.

An invisible Air Bullet blasted a large hole right through the water bottle, spilling water all over the table.

All sounds fell silent.

If you were suddenly no longer human, what would you do?

Fu Qian had truly never considered this question before.

If the thirty thousand yuan deposited daily had saved him from eating dirt and shifted his concept of money...

...then transforming into a Thug had completely changed his concept of life.

The shift was so drastic that it took him the time to eat a whole hamburger to fully digest the reality.

Taking a huge gulp of ice-cold cola, Fu Qian watched the men and women in McDonald’s, his heart full of emotion.

This was a habit of his—eating junk food every time he finished a major job.

The satisfaction of absolute indulgence and degeneracy felt fantastic!

From childhood to adulthood, Fu Qian had always been the rebellious, unorthodox type; otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up so broke and destitute.

But no matter what, the pressure of survival had always been there, forcing him to hustle for a living to some extent.

Now, all survival pressure had suddenly vanished. He might not even be human anymore.

Thinking about it carefully, was the feeling of suddenly losing one’s life goal actually pleasant?

Yes, it felt absolutely amazing.

Fu Qian answered himself without hesitation.

Although he was also a freelancer, he had nothing in common with those moody, sentimental artists.

He was a pragmatic person who disliked pretentious thinking.

If he were made to choose ten thousand times, his answer would always be the same.

Nothing was more valuable than having more choices.

Right as he was sighing over life, the phone he had placed on the table suddenly rang.
